1970 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Custom review from North America
"One big Mean Momma"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission Went out on me at the store had to drive home in reverse (funny story there)
All 4 ball-joints went out so did all the factory rubber on the front end..
Transmission just went out on me again (getting a new one this time.
General comments?
Drive it like you stole it.
Car is big, but very well built strong as an ox.
Seats are very comfy no complaint's from my friends.
Get a lot of comments from others about keeping a classic on the road.
Scares everyone out of my lane when I'm trucking on down the road.
This older car puts the imports to shame off the line and in the long run.
